What is your occupation and what are you qualified to do?

I am currently a senior crèche assistant, I work with children aged 2 5 years. I have six years experience.
My brother & his family have said that they would sponsor me.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to BE
unfortunately the sibling route was discontinued in 2012."Adult Child Category closure
On 16 May 2012, the Sibling and Adult Child Category of residence closed. Immigration New Zealand (INZ) no longer receives applications for residence under this category"
it's about what you can provide to the country and how much you can contribute. you would need to check out the Immigration site to see how you could achieve this but from what information you have given I think it would be a long haul to achieve permanent residency. You could come over on a working holiday visa for 23mths and take your chances. But I think you would need to reskill to have the option to apply under skilled category or residency from work

anyway pop on over to the NZ forum and have a chat there http://britishexpats.com/forum/new-zealand-83/
